A comprehensive four-day curriculum fulfills consortium members’ needs and requests, while still providing time to network with colleagues and friends and take advantage of all that is offered at the meeting.

The meeting aims to provide MS healthcare professionals with up-to-date information that can positively impact both clinical practice and research. The comprehensive care model is enhanced through a focus on:
